"Killer Kunoichi and a Shaky Shikamaru" (シカマルタジタジ!?くの一達の熱き戦い, Shikamaru Tajitaji!? Kunoichi-tachi no Atsuki Tatakai) is episode 43 of the original Naruto anime.
Tenten and Temari are chosen to fight next. Tenten makes the first move and Temari easily dodges it. Team Guy was surprised that no weapon could even scratch or hit Temari. Tenten tries another attack that Temari repels using wind from her Giant Folding Fan, before warning Tenten that if she sees all three stars (moons in the English anime) in her fan, the fight will be over. Tenten uses her Twin Rising Dragons technique. Uncovering the second star, Temari repels the attack, then Tenten uses strings to re-use the weapons. Uncovering the third star, Temari repels the attack and traps Tenten in a cyclone. When Tenten falls from the cyclone, Temari makes her land on her fan, knocking her out. After being declared winner, Temari tries to throw Tenten on the many weapons scattered on the floor, but Rock Lee descends and catches her. He then attacks Temari, only to be stopped by Might Guy, who warns the Suna shinobi to not underestimate Lee.
Shikamaru and Kin Tsuchi are then next. Shikamaru tries the Shadow Imitation Technique but Kin easily evades and throws some senbon with bells attached at him. Shikamaru recognises the trick and mocks her for using such basic techniques. Kin then rings the bells on the senbon, starting her genjutsu. Shikamaru gets caught in Kin's Bell Ring Genjutsu, unable to move, while Kin proceeds to attack him with more senbon. Hovewer, when Kin tries to attack again, she suddenly realises that she can't move. Shikamaru tells her that he extended his Shadow Imitation Technique through the shadow of the wires she's holding. He then throws a shuriken at Kin, which she imitates. When Shikamaru ducks backwards to evade it, Kin is forced to imitate him, but she did not realise that she was too close to the wall, hitting her head and knocking herself out.
Shikamaru is declared the winner of the match and Naruto and Kiba are chosen to fight next.

* Here come the maggot, feedin' on my flesh! x8
Darkness, (black!) buried underground
3 slugs in my chest, never been found
I'm decomposin', my lungs collapse
My flesh is food for the maggots on my back!
Got my gat! They all said my bodies paralized
I can feel them crawling on my eyes!
And lookin' for the open wounds, the smell of death
Now they on the march, on my face to eat my flesh
Startin' on my chest where the first bullet enter
A hundred maggots in and start diggin' in the center!
Tearin' up my insides, til' they reached my rib
then one of them hollered, "Back to the grill!"
They all followed one by one on my chest
And headed on back to my face to rest
The trip to my head was like a race
They all made it though, and that's why I got a maggot face!
Yea I got a maggot face and I don't care
Yea I got a maggot face and I, don't, care! x4
I got maggots on my face, 3 quarters of my body
They runnin' through my veins like a, IVY!
Feedin' off the blood and flesh to take control
Of a lifeless corpse, dead man without a soul
Tryin' to maintain while they crawl through my bloodstream
I can feel'em movin' from my neck to my brain
To my eyelids, to the back of my spine
From my feet on up to my mother fuckin' mind!
They want to take control of my body and reak havoc
On them suckas out there tryin to rob my fuckin' casket
Or my goods like a 40 of formaldehyde
A 9 millimeter, good for pullin' drive-bys!
My 2 rags and a sawed of shotgun!
Any sucka get wit'in 2 feet, I pop'em!
And I peel your wig, before you bit the case
I wanna tell you bitches straight from the maggot face
Here come the maggot, feedin' on my flesh! x8
Now your homie Blaze, got a maggot face
Got me creepin' out the casket, just to erase
Suckers on my block 'cause the maggots gotta eat
Scoped 3 fools with my semi-auto heat
Dragged their fuckin' bodies back into my casket
Choppin' limbs up, wit' a hatchet!
Fresh for the livin, aint no better taste
Woke from the dead, made a mother fuckin' maggot face!
Blaze Ya Dead Homie Maggot Face

Mom jailed, accused of not getting help for ailing girl
A Houston woman accused of failing to seek medical treatment for her teenage daughter's lupus is in jail, charged with injury to a child by omission.
Tina Renae Carr was arrested Friday in connection with an April 16 incident in which paramedics found her daughter lying on a pallet at their southeast Houston apartment.
The 14-year-old girl was suffering from malnutrition and dizziness, and was covered with what were thought to be cigarette burns, according to the arrest warrant filed by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Carr, 46, had barricaded the door with a refrigerator and refused to open it for police and ambulance personnel, the complaint stated.
Once the responders forced their way in, they found the girl incoherent.
The teen was treated at Memorial Hermann Hospital, where she was diagnosed with lupus cerebritis, a brain inflammation associated with systemic lupus, an auto-immune disorder.
According to the warrant, the doctor who made the diagnosis said the girl's symptoms would have progressed over months, but the mother had taken her daughter to a doctor only on April 4.
The doctor who saw the girl at that time advised the mother to take her to the hospital, but Carr refused and signed a document stating that she would not "against medical advice," according to the arrest warrant. Another doctor who saw the girl said Carr's refusal was "life-threatening," the warrant stated.
Paramedics were called to the apartment after the daughter ran to the front office, asking for help and saying her mother was trying to hurt her. Carr then arrived in the office and began to "tussle" with her daughter, dragging her back to the apartment, records state.
The apartment manager told police the girl screamed and tried to get away from her mother, according to the warrant.
Texas Child Protective Services took custody of the girl on May 3, while she was hospitalized, a CPS spokeswoman said.
When the hospital released her May 24, the teen was placed in a foster home where she remained Friday, spokeswoman Estella Olguin said by email.

Hi, imany :) .
First let me state I am not a qualified teacher.
If I am treading on any toes here please say so and I will bow out gracefuly.
You are correct with your knowledge of when to use the first three examples.
Your last example is used when you were eating an apple whilst something else was happening. e.g.
I was eating an apple when I saw a large green worm crawl over my fingers.
During class I was eating an apple when the teacher threw a large piece of wood at me (chair) to show his displeasure at my actions.
The term you use - is this mean - should read....does this mean.
Hope this helps .

That's right, folks. Sury Serbian Janko Tipsarevic now has his very own website. It loads a little slow (which, in this age of seemingly unlimited bandwith, is "unacceptable", as they say), but we're definitely looking forward to keeping in touch with the munchkin.
Tattoo watch? In the fan question section ("Ask Him", someone asked about the meaning of Janko's new tattoo. His response? "Black". Is there really a new tat? If you have info (or images), please send our way!

Brownie Baked Alaska
Kids of all ages are impressed when I slice into this sweet treat. No one can resist the combination of brownies and two kinds of ice cream with a light meringue topping. This cool and chocolaty dessert looks like I fussed, when really, it's pretty easy to put together.—Spy Hill Public Library, Carol Twardzik, Spy Hill, Saskatchewan
Total TimePrep: 50 min. + freezing Bake: 5 min.
Makes12 servings
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
- 1 quart strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- 5 egg whites
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into chocolate mixture. Stir in nuts if desired.
- Spread into a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake). Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, line an 8-in. or 9-in. round bowl (1-1/2-qts.) with foil. Quickly spread strawberry ice cream over bottom and up sides of bowl, leaving center hollow; cover and freeze for 30 minutes. Pack vanilla ice cream into center; cover and freeze.
- To assemble, place the brownie base on a 10-in. ovenproof serving plate. Unmold ice cream onto brownie. Return to freezer while preparing meringue.
- In a heavy saucepan or double boiler over simmering water, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar. Heat over low heat while beating egg white mixture with a portable mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping down sides of bowl. Continue beating until mixture reaches 160°. Remove from the heat. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Quickly spread over ice cream and brownie. Bake at 500° for 2-5 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. (Or return to freezer until ready to bake.) Transfer to a serving plate; serve immediately.

Talk about delicious! We really enjoyed this cake. The brownie base had a great consistency. I did have trouble with egg whites sticking to the ice cream. I think maybe I didn't beat them long enough. I did go to soft peaks, but maybe not peaked enough. Maybe the ice cream wasn't frozen enough. Just in case that happens to you, you might want to put the oven proof serving dish on a cookie sheet. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed it, and I hope to try it again!

03.06.11 – Cafe Regatta is one of my favorite cafes in Helsinki. I try to get out there on the weekends. Emma and I were out there last weekend. It's a great place because it's outside the crowded city center. They also have great outside seating with a fire pit and you can buy makkara, Finnish hot dogs, and roast them outside. They also have the best pulla. Emma and I had a blast.

Grammy winner Duncan Sheik says it helps to be Buddhist, if only because its teachings keep the ups and downs of singing and songwriting in perspective. "I started practicing 23 years ago," says the Upper West Sider, "and it reminds you what you're doing in general and why you're doing it. I want to make music that moves people." He moved many of us with his score for Broadway's "Spring Awakening," and now he's at work on a very different musical: an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho," due to open in England next year, "and then we'll bring it to New York and try to terrify everyone here!" For now, catch the man who wrote "Barely Breathing" in concert at the Gramercy Theatre on Friday. Here's what's in his library.
by Martin Amis
I'm writing a memoir now for Random House, so I've been reading and re-reading great writers' memoirs, setting the bar impossibly high! I love all of Martin Amis' books. The thing that's genius here is that you see who inspired him — and it's everyone from Evelyn Waugh to Philip Roth to his own father, Kingsley Amis. It's a real page-turner.
by Irvine Welsh
I saw the movie of "Trainspotting" and started reading his nightmarish, hilariously absurd books. This one's about a Scottish policeman who goes to Florida with his wife, and their vacation devolves into a drug-addled disaster. I never fail to look up from an Irvine Welsh book and say, "Thank God my life isn't like that!"
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
by Junot Díaz
I started reading this book on the plane to Italy and 24 hours later, I had devoured it! It's about a science fiction-loving, overweight, nerdy guy and his journey to finding sexual/romantic satisfaction before he comes to a tragic end. Diaz uses a kind of Spanglish that brings you into his world.
White Teeth
by Zadie Smith
Zadie Smith's mother was Jamaican and her father English, and this is the story of growing up in a house with two different cultures. Her facility with language is massive, and her ability to infuse her stories with important ideas is almost magical. It's one of those books you don't want to finish reading.

Local broadcast television can maximize the impact of any print campaign by driving more consumers, through multiple touch-points and platforms, to the point of making a purchase decision. And, television adds the power of broad reach as well as the ability to target niche audiences.
Newspaper is most effective in the Purchase phase of the consumer purchase cycle. Consumers must go through the Awareness and Consideration phases before they are ready to make a purchase. Television is the most effective ad medium in the Awareness and Consideration phase, and drives consumers toward that purchase decision.
Newspaper circulation has suffered substantial declines while television viewing continues to grow. Broadcast has the ability to reach 100% of all TV households in a market. Newspaper circulation can be a fraction of the number of TV Homes in a given market.
TV Stations offer highly-targeted online opportunities, including online Classifieds. Advertisers can target niche online content with the same strategy as ads placed in newspaper sections, with the added power of on-air ads driving traffic to the site.
Broadcast digital sub-channels offer additional opportunity for custom programming and sponsorships to help drive customer traffic.

We, the Indian Homoeopatic Medical Association (Kerala State Chapter), the national proffessional platform of Homoeopathic doctors operating in the state, submit the following for your kind consideration and earliest favorable action.
With great surprise and utter disspointment, we have very recently learned that the Faculty of Homoeopathy of Calicut University in its very recent meeting has resolved to equalize regular PG degree and external PG degree in Homoeopathy. More than 90% members are ExternalMD holders in this faculty!!.The presence of only one teacher from Calicut University (Dr CT Anilakumari) who retires this month.All other members are from other Universities.
We, being always at strong vigil on the standards and quality of Homoeopathic academic scenario from our very inception, fear that this retrograde step is detrimental to the fair progress of homoeopathic medical education, and in maintaining high academic standards in the field of Homoeopathic medical education & practice.
From its very launch, Indian Homeopathic Medical Association has been skeptic about the long runing impacts on this this ridiculous academic programme launches by apex bodies and its long lasting aftermaths and today we find ourselves at an unfortunate juncture where those with vested priorities from among senior Homoeopathoc academicians raise gross challenges to the entire Homoeopathoc acadmic system and its credibility by equating this with Regular MD programme. IHMA is aware that we may have to bite the bullet in our plight to safeguard Homoeopathic academics from such discrepancies and assure you that we shall stay committed to the cause whatever it takes.
This issue was raised in a memorandum to your office dated 19/06/2010 by the Post Graduate Teachers Organisation in Homoeopathy, and was discussed in the Board of Studies in Homoeopathy (PG) meeting on 12/08/10. This meeting could not arrive at a consensus on the issue, though strong opposition to equalization was raised by certain board members. We are therefore dismayed that the faculty of Homoeopathy, a responsible body by all means, has taken such a resolution on this crucial matter. We therefore request your kind self to do the needful in this regard and we hereby place before your good self, the facts regarding external PG degree in homoeopathy for making necessary interventions. These were already brought to your notice by the Post Graduate Teachers organization in Homoeopathy on their recent memorandum dated 12/3/2012.
The reason for our concern lies in the very nature of external PG degree, which are as follows:
- The external PG degree is an off campus course which does not require formal institutionalized training. Candidates of external PG are not required to attend outpatient and inpatient duties, conduct seminars, discussions and classes by qualified teachers etc as is the case of regular PG students. The relevance of such a course in the field of medical education is highly suspectful, to say the least.
- The external PG degree is of two years duration, while the regular PG degree is of three year duration. The basic qualification for enrolling in external PG course is only a diploma in homoeopathy while for regular PG course it is a degree in homoeopathy. For the regular MD student, this usually means 3 years of strenuous work after a 5½ year course of BHMS degree. The External MD student on the other hand, can get a "Post Graduate" degree in a leisurely 2 years even without having a degree in homoeopathy!
- It may be relevant to recall the Honorable Supreme Court judgment on February 25, 2009, (Civil Appeal No. 4173 of 2008, Annamalai University versus Secretary to Govt., Information & Tourism Dept & Others) which observed that a Masters degree awarded to a candidate who has not undergone a degree (Bachelor's) course cannot be valid.
- The external PG course can never be equated to the regular PG course with reference to the syllabus, conduct of the course and the mode of examinations. Further none of the Universities of Kerala so far has recognized or approved the external PG in Homoeopathy.
A concise comparison between the two courses:

Conducted by deemed universities of Maharsathra, Tamil Nadu etc.
- The supporters for equalization quote the decision of the Executive Committee of the Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH) in its meeting dated 23-03-06, which decided that both qualifications "are at par for all purposes including service matters".
- Indian Homoeopathic Medical Associaton has been on a firm plight against any equalization of this External MD course with the Regular MD programmes and has represented at multiple levels of Homoeopathic academics including the Central Council of Homoeopathy, Dept of AYUSH. GOI & Govt of Kerala.
- So far there has been multiple attemps from very mean sources who desired personal gains jeopardizing the very credibility, standards and quality of Homeoopathic academic scenario, but has miserably failed when the apex bodies could always be convinced with ease the very explicit differeces between the two. This recent step was shocking and gives a deep sense of insecurity and even brings to suspicion the very nature of the composition & constitution of faculty of Homoeopathy. We also request you to dissolve such a Faculty which has compromised on high morales as far as academic scenario is concerned and to reconstitute the same.
- The academic council of the University of Kerala had appointed a commission in 2001 chaired by Honorable Pro Vice Chancellor of Kerala University, Prof. S. Kevin, on the matter of External PG course in homoeopathy. This commission submitted the report in 2002 which clearly stated that "the University of Kerala need not sanction the External PG Degree in Homoeopathy as it cannot maintain the academic standards expected of a PG degree in medicine".
- The Health & Family welfare department, Govt. of Kerala has also made it amply clear in 2010 that the two courses cannot be considered equal.
Adverse Impact of equalization
It is a matter of much concern to us that if an off campus course of 2 years duration is equalized with a regular residential institutionalized course of 3 years duration, it would have an adverse impact on the standard of Homoeopathic medical education in the state.
- Equalization of external MD course with regular MD will be a retrograde step in the progress of homoeopathic medical education. The morale of regular PG students will be dented on the realization that their hard earned postgraduate degree is seen as equal to what is only a little more than a correspondence course!
- PG degree is a preferential qualification for appointment as tutors in Homoeopathic Medical Colleges. If the authorities see external PG course as equal to regular PG degree, then it will be a severe blow to the prospects of fresh regular PG holders applying to the post of tutors. This problem is especially urgent now as the Public Service Commission has recently invited application for appointment to the post of tutors in several subjects.
We hope it is very clear from the above statements why external PG degree in Homoeopathy should not be equalized with regular PG degree for any purpose. We therefore humbly request you not to consider regular PG and External PG in Homoeopathy as equivalent qualifications. We further request you to direct the authorities concerned to strike down the decision of the faculty of homoeopathy, equalizing both qualifications. We hope you will intervene in this matter and there by save Homoeopathic education and practice from utter disgrace.
Yours faithfully,
General Secretary, Kerala State Chapter, Indian Homoeopathic Medical Association (IHMA)

George Harrison (guitar, vocals; born February 24, 1943, died November 29, 2001)
George Harrison was known as the quiet Beatle, and he was also the quietest ex-Beatle. His was not the way of the rock star, as he neither courted nor relished fame. Yet his seeming diffidence was deceptive, as he left behind an impressive legacy as a solo artist. Harrison's 11 solo albums (not counting best-of's) include the masterful All Things Must Pass (1970) and a memorable late-career milestone, Cloud Nine (1987). He was the first Beatle to tour the U.S. as a solo artist and also launched his own label (Dark Horse Records). Most important, Harrison wrote and sang about spirituality and transcendence. He immersed himself in Indian music at Beatlemania's height and became a lifelong devotee of Hindu religion, Krishna consciousness and Vedic philosophy.
In hindsight, Harrison's albums lay bare his conflicted sensibilities: real-world engagement vs. spiritual retreat and popular artist vs. private recluse. He titled one of his best-selling albums Living in the Material World, and that summed up his quandary. Harrison forthrightly addressed weighty matters on record and made his ruminations appealing as popular music, too. Incorporating spirituality into popular music was not an easy thing to do, and it won him the respect of fans and colleagues. Derek Taylor, the Beatles' publicist and a longtime friend, called him "the boldest man I ever met."
Born in Liverpool in 1943, Harrison joined the Quarry Men - which included John Lennon and Paul McCartney - as lead guitarist at age 15. When they changed their name to the Beatles in 1960, he was still only 17. Harrison's influences ran to rockabilly heroes like Carl Perkins and British skiffle legend Lonnie Donegan. His retooled rockabilly licks were key to the Beatles' early sound, while his sharp, innovative lead guitar was essential to later recordings. During the Beatles' tenure he introduced Western ears to Indian music. Harrison first played the sitar on "Norwegian Wood" (1965) and then unleashed a full-blown sitar showcase, "Within You Without You," on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). When Delaney Bramlett (of Delaney & Bonnie) introduced Harrison to slide guitar in 1968, he became a leading exponent of that style.
Harrison wrote some of the Beatles' best-loved songs, including "If I Needed Someone," "Taxman," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Something," "Here Comes the Sun" and "I Me Mine." He also figured prominently in the group's decision to abandon live performances, where they were routinely drowned out by screams, and instead devote their time to the recording studio. Of life with the Beatles, he pithily remarked, "We met everyone in the world and never had a moment's peace." Harrison stormed out of sessions for Let It Be in 1969. Though he would return, he regarded the glare of fame as a Beatle with wary disdain. "They used us as an excuse to go mad, the world did," he said in The Beatles Anthology, "and then blamed it on us." In 1969, Harrison purchased a sprawling rural estate known as Friar Park, and it became his refuge from the world.
Soon after the Beatles' breakup in 1970, Harrison released All Things Must Pass. It was his first true solo album (not counting Wonderwall Music and Electronic Sound, experimental releases from the Beatles era). Harrison's songwriting talent, largely kept under wraps in the Beatles, poured forth on the three-disc set, which contained two albums of songs and one of jams. Harrison's spiritually slanted tunes were given the full "Wall of Sound" treatment by producer Phil Spector. Standout tracks include "Isn't It a Pity," "Beware of Darkness," "What Is Life" and "My Sweet Lord." Rolling Stone hailed the album as "Wagnerian, Brucknerian, the music of mountaintops and vast horizons." Both All Things Must Pass and "My Sweet Lord" went to #1. (Noting the resemblance of "My Sweet Lord" to "He's So Fine," by the Chiffons, the latter's publisher sued Harrison, who was ultimately found guilty of "unconscious plagiarism.") Re-released in 2002 on CD with bonus tracks and a new version of "My Sweet Lord," All Things Must Pass remains among the most esteemed of all Beatles solo works.
Harrison's next masterstroke was The Concert for Bangladesh, rock's first large-scale benefit concert, organized to raise awareness and money for war-torn Bangladesh. Held on August 1, 1971, at Madison Square Garden, the star-studded affair included Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, and Harrison's Indian-music mentor, Ravi Shankar. Proceeds from the concert, soundtrack album and documentary film were earmarked for the United Nations Children's Fund for Relief to Refugee Children of Bangladesh. It became a model for rock-benefit projects from Live Aid to The Concert for New York City. Over time, Harrison's donations to UNICEF for Bangla Desh from concert, film and album proceeds totaled over $13 million.
Living in the Material World (1973), a single album, topped the album chart for five weeks and contained the #1 single "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)," as well as Harrison's biting commentary on the Beatles' ongoing legal travails, "Sue Me, Sue You Blues." The next year Harrison launched Dark Horse, a record label (distributed by A&M) that would release albums by himself and others, including Ravi Shankar and Splinter. His ambitions were modest: "I want it to be reasonably small," he said. By calling his new album and label Dark Horse, Harrison was implicitly stating that the Beatles' dark horse - "The one that nobody's bothered to put any money on," said Harrison's - was coming in a winner. Dark Horse charted highly, reaching #4, yet received lukewarm reviews. The North American tour that followed - the first stateside concerts by an ex-Beatle - proved problematic because Harrison had strained his voice in rehearsals. Another unremarkable album, Extra Texture (Read All About It), appeared in 1975.
Harrison rebounded with Thirty-three & 1/3 (1976), highlighted by "This Song" (#25), a wry retort to the "My Sweet Lord" lawsuit, and "Crackerbox Palace" (#19), a paean to his beloved Friar Park. During the three-year hiatus from recording that followed, Harrison divorced his first wife, Patti (who subsequently wed his close friend Eric Clapton), and married Olivia Trinidad Arias, with whom he'd spend the rest of his life. He also launched HandMade Films, a production company that debuted with Monty Python's Life of Brian. Over the next 11 years, HandMade released 27 movies, including Time Bandits (1981) and Mona Lisa (1986). Harrison also produced, appeared in and greatly savored The Rutles, a mock-documentary Beatles parody.
Harrison's next solo album, George Harrison (1979), contained several of his loveliest songs, including "Blow Away" (#16) and "Here Comes the Moon." Next came Somewhere in England (1981), notable for "All Those Years Ago" (#2), written after John Lennon's murder. With backing vocals from Paul and Linda McCartney and drumming by Ringo Starr, it became a sizable hit. The laid-back Gone Troppo appeared in 1983, and then Harrison didn't record for another five years.
Keeping to himself for much of the Eighties, Harrison laid low at homes in England and Maui while pursuing such hobbies as Formula One car racing and gardening. He re-emerged in 1987 with Cloud Nine, a spirited comeback. "We used real guitars, real keyboards, real drums and real people playing real songs," he noted wryly. Coproduced by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra, Cloud Nine was Harrison's most Beatlesque solo record. Harrison had softened in his attitude toward the Beatles, as evidenced by the comically poignant "When We Was Fab." The album yielded Harrison's third #1 hit, "Got My Mind Set On You," an infectious soul remake.
Harrison's next project was the Traveling Wilburys, a low-key supergroup consisting of Harrison, Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. It was Harrison's first band since the Beatles. Their low-key albums - Volume One (1988) and Vol. 3 (1990) - were as pleasurable as they were unexpected. In 1992, Harrison undertook a tour of Japan - his first since the Dark Horse debacle 18 years earlier - with Eric Clapton and his band. The two-disc set Live in Japan was released a year later. At the time he enthused, "Maybe it's time to do some playing in England and Europe…maybe eventually even America." But that would not come to pass.
The last ten years of Harrison's life were largely lived out of the limelight. In I Me Mine, a book of lyrics with autobiographical notes, Harrison wrote, "I'm really quite simple. I don't want to be in the business full time because I'm a gardener. I plant flowers and watch them grow. I don't go out to clubs and partying. I stay at home and watch the river flow."
In 2000, All Things Must Pass was reissued in a two-CD box under Harrison's auspices. He re-recorded its most famous track as "My Sweet Lord (2000)" and added several bonus tracks, as well as candid notes: "It's been 30 years since All Things Must Pass was recorded…. All these years later I would like to liberate some of the songs from the big production that seemed appropriate at the time, but now seem a bit over the top with the reverb in the wall of sound. Still, it was an important album for me and a timely vehicle for all the songs I'd been writing during the last period with the Beatles."
He also worked on his final solo album, Brainwashed, up until his death. Brainwashed, coproduced by son Dhani Harrison and Jeff Lynne, was released posthumously in 2002. He wrote one last song, a philosophical summing-up entitled "Horse to the Water," that appeared on British keyboardist Jools Holland's Small World Big Band. It's somehow fitting that the quiet Beatle got in a final word before departing the material world.
George Harrison died of brain cancer on November 29, 2001, at a friend's home in Los Angeles. He was 58 years old. Exactly a year later, Eric Clapton and Olivia Harrison organized The Concert for George - a tribute performance that involved the remaining ex-Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as concert supervisor Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Ravi Shankar. Proceeds went to Harrison's Material World Charitable Foundation, which he'd founded back in 1973.

It slices, it dices, it's a floor wax, it's a whipped topping -- the literature on glutamine, the body's most abundant amino acid, can put one in mind of those late night infomercials touting miracle products. Glutamine has been reported to stop diarrhea and wasting, build lean body mass and improve muscle definition, promote immune cell growth and even possibly slow progression of HIV disease.
Glutamine is known as a crucial chemical for muscles. Glutamine is also used by immune cells and enterocytes (intestinal cells) for energy, it's important to the liver, the kidney and the brain.
But unfortunately, just as in those infomercials, there is very little solid data to prove that this nutritional supplement can actually help people with HIV live longer and better lives. There are some tantalizing clues however, and since it has very few reported side effects and very little potential toxicity, many people have decided to try it, usually in combination with antioxidant supplements like betacarotene, NAC (n-acetyl cysteine), thioctic acid (alpha-lipoic acid), selenium and Vitamins C and E.
Here's the reasoning behind anti-oxidant use. In HIV, and other chronic illnesses, "free radicals" tend to build up in the bloodstream as a result of the way the immune system attacks its enemies. These nasty chemicals lack an outer electron. They damage the body by stealing electrons from healthy cells and lessen the body's ability to repair itself. One of the primary anti-oxidants needed to reduce this "oxidative stress" is a substance called glutathione. And you guessed it -- glutamine is one of its precursors, as is NAC.
Normally, nutrition provides enough antioxidants to combat this "oxidative stress" and neutralize the "free radicals." But under continuous siege by HIV, the need for anti-oxidants begins to grow beyond what a regular diet can provide. Wasting is one result -- muscle tissue is rich in glutamine. The body starts breaking down muscle to fight the "oxidative stress." Another result is a higher viral load, because HIV thrives in an environment rich in free radicals. Some nutritionists have begun to call glutamine a "conditionally essential" nutrient.
A recent study of about 100 PWAS, mostly men with less than 200 T-cells, done by Drs. Leonore and Leonard Herzenberg at Stanford University, found that glutathione levels are directly linked to survival. 85% of those who started the study with high glutathione levels survived the three-year-long study while only 18% with low levels did. It isn't known whether low glutathione levels cause or quicken disease progression or if they are a symptom of some other process -- however supplementation to increase glutathione levels in cells is increasingly popular. Glutathione is also crucial for liver health.
Some recent studies have suggested that taking glutathione itself can raise the glutathione levels in immune cells, but according to Dr. Judy Shabert of the Harvard University School of Medicine, the extra expense of doing so is unwarranted. "Glutathione is taken up by the intestines, but it's broken down by the liver, so it's really just a very expensive source of cysteine. Our research has found that glutamine really does make glutathione and it has the advantage of doing many other things."
A recent study in the Lancet, for example, reported that glutamine supplementation significantly decreased the incidence of pneumonia, and other life-threatening infections like bacteremia and septicemia, for patients with multiple traumas and who were being fed intravenously. In the study, only 17% of patients on glutamine got pneumonia, compared to 45% of the participants who were not on glutamine. 7% on glutamine contracted bacteremia, while 42% of the non-glutamine group did. Finally, 3% (one person!) of those in the glutamine group experienced sepsis, compared to 26% of the non-glutamine group.
The effect of glutamine on the gut is pretty well documented because supplementation has been found useful not only for people with HIV, but with other conditions that require intravenous feeding like severe bums and intestinal surgery.
A pilot double-blind study of glutamine for intestinal problems in PWAs did not produce statistically significant results, quite possibly because the highest dose used was only 8 grams and most researchers now recommend doses higher than 20 grains for acute problems. However, it did show a trend towards improvement in those on higher doses. Studies of people with other conditions have found that glutamine supplementation speeds recoveryand can even restore firm, healthy stools to people who have only inches (of a former 21 feet!) of intestine remaining.
Most people think the intestine is just an organ needed for the elimination of waste, but in fact, it is a crucial part of the immune system. Like people with HIV, cancer patients on chemotherapy often suffer severe diarrhea. Charles Smigelski, RD, a nutritionist and researcher at Harvard University, reports seeing a cancer chemo patient who had disabling diarrhea for six months. Within a week on glutamine, his bowel movements were normal.
Smigelski is high on glutamine and other antioxidant supplements for people with HIV. He has about I 00 HIV patients in his practice that are supplementing with glutamine and says, "Most people report that they feel better on every level. It improves their energy, it reduces diarrhea, and it's hugely useful in wasting and dealing with oxidative stress. A ton of people swear by it."
Smigelski believes that such supplementation may be able to prevent or reduce lipodystrophy ("Crix belly"), thought to be a side effect of protease inhibitors. His patients find it useful for diarrhea caused by protease inhibitors as well. "A very common experience is that someone will have protease related diarrhea. Immodium will stop the explosive diarrhea that often comes before people can get to the bathroom, but it won't firm the stools or reduce frequency. Glutamine, which I use in combination with probiotics (natural gut bacteria like acidophilus, lactobacillus, etc.), firms the stools. It really improves quality of life."
Body builders also tout glutamine because it is anabolic (builds muscles). A poster presented by Dr. Shabert at this year's International Conference on AIDS in Geneva reports that patients with wasting given 40 grams a day of glutamine (along with NAC, vitamins C and E, selenium and beta-carotene) gained an average of 1.7 kilograms (3.75 lbs) in lean body mass in 12 weeks. Patients in the control group were given glycine (another amino acid protein) and a multivitamin and they did not gain similarly.
Shabert notes that patients in a recent study using human growth hormone (which can have many unwanted side effects) put on a similar amount of weight in the same time period. But when they were followed up after stopping treatment, they lost the weight. Glutamine supplementation cost $250 while human growth hormone cost about $9,500. According to Shabert, growth hormone "may force the body to make muscle at the expense of other vital organs." She says that the death rate of people using growth hormone was slightly (not significantly) higher than for the controls.
In support of Smigelski's views on glutamine and lipodystrophy, none of Shabert's subjects on glutamine developed the problem even though almost all were on protease inhibitors. However, it was a small study with only 21 subjects and its end point was never intended to find lipodystrophy.
Dr. Mary Romeyn, a physician with a large HIV practice in San Francisco and author of the 1998 book, "Nutrition and HIV", says that low glutamine levels may be responsible for bad reactions to Bactrim -- so, those who need Bactrim might want to consider supplementation with glutamine.
Few physicians or nutritionists report any toxicities or side effects from glutamine even at high doses. Says Smigelski, "It may heighten the effects of caffeine" -- which, for many, might be a plus. People with liver disease need to count their glutamine dose as part of their protein allotment, and some believe that it can help liver health. However, people with end stage liver or renal disease may have trouble. According to Dr. Charles Noyer, who published a study of glutamine for intestinal problems in PWAS, people might have "changes in mental status", including lethargy and sometimes even mania. In his study, no one suffered these effects, however. Dr. Shabert reports that a study of glutamine in people awaiting liver transplant found that it caused encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), but she hasn't had any problems using it so far.
Smigelski recommends the following dosages, to be adjusted according to individual needs and responses. For diarrhea caused by protease inhibitors, IO grams a day. To treat symptoms of infectious diarrhea, use 30 grams a day for one week. As a treatment for the symptoms of diarrhea caused by MAC or cryptosporidiosis, use 40 grams a day for a week. Maintenance dosages should be adjusted according to individual needs. Shabert's study found 40 grams a day helped people with wasting add lean body mass. All experts agree that Glutamine works best in combination with other anti-oxidants. Smigelski believes that it's never too early to start supplementation. For people with HIV he recommends 5-10 grams a day of glutamine, 1-2 grams NAC, along with Vitamins C, E and selenium (we might add beta-carotene, garlic and thioctic acid).
Most nutritionists prefer the powdered form of glutamine. It should be dissolved in water or juice and consumed quickly before it breaks down. Capsules are available, but it's believed that the powder is better absorbed and the number of capsules needed to reach your dose might actually promote diarrhea or gas because of the gelatin coating. Glutamine should be taken immediately before or after meals. Doses should be spread out to three or more times a day.
What People on Glutamine are Saying?
John, a client of the PWA Health Group, believes he's been HIV-infected since 1978 -- he had persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (lymph node enlargement) before AIDS was discovered. "I've been through all the drugs," he says. "I have multidrug resistant HIV."
John takes the full range of anti-oxidant supplements including alpha lipoic acid, NAC, vitamin C and 8-10 grams a day of glutamine. He started on the regime because, "I thought that one factor that was not being considered in HIV was the host." He laughs, "I'm the hostess with the mostess," but he didn't want to provide a party atmosphere for his virus. John says that glutamine didn't help when he had diarrhea related to Viracept, but other than that, he hasn't had a problem with diarrhea. "I know other people who take it, (glutamine) who believe they have seen an effect." As for his current health, "I'm OK. I can't see cause and effect, but I have no other real options." His T-Cell count is 370 and he does report serious fatigue, but no side effects related to glutamine.
Mark, also a client of the PWA Health Group, had an unwanted change in his numbers just after starting glutamine, but has no way of knowing whether it was related to the supplement. "For a year, I watched my numbers fluctuate," he said. He started an anti-oxidant cocktail and, "My numbers got worse. My lowest T-Cell count went down to 209. 1 stopped everything. I got it in my head that the glutamine was the problem because I thought it was the most important of the anti-oxidants."
Mark, a "long term survivor", believes he became infected in the 70's, although unlike John, he has never met the definition for AIDS. Now, he says, "I'm healthy as a horse." He was taking all the anti-oxidants but glutamine and recently added it back into his regimen. His numbers are still fluctuating.

NEYLAND Cricket Club celebrated 125 years with a special anniversary dinner on Saturday, enjoyed by around 90 current and past players, supporters and committee members.
After the dinner at the Cleddau Bridge Hotel, former England and Glamorgan spinner Robert Croft entertained the crowd with hilarious stories of his time with both the Welsh side and as part of the England team, including playing with legends such as Sir Viv Richards.
The off-spinner presented one of Neyland's rising stars, Scott Jones (a leg-spinner) with his county cap during the evening's celebrations.
Also among the guests was Tony Scourfield, the recently-elected Chairman of the Pembroke County Cricket Club and his wife Janice.
Mr Scourfield thanked the club for his invitation and said that he felt a strong Neyland team was essential to, and indicative of, the health of cricket in Pembrokeshire.
The evening looked back over 125 years of cricket in Neyland and came at a time when the club is enjoying the most successful period in its long history.
A table proudly showed off the clean sweep of the First XI's league championship, Duggie Morris and Harrison-Allen Bowl silverware, alongside the now traditional indoor league trophy, plus the Second XI's Division 4 title.
And the evening came just a week after the all-conquering indoor team won through to Lord's to battle it out to become the top indoor team in the UK.
Chairman Andrew Smith spoke well about the traditions and history of the club, which has had good and bad times, but it was an emotional speech by immediate past secretary Martyn Rees, that earned a standing ovation.
Then it was over to Robert Croft who told of facing legendary South African pace bowler Allan Donald (95mph) and his Ashes experience of famous Aussie quick Glenn McGrath "bowling bouncers at me for two months".
Croft spoke for around 40 minutes and had the crowd laughing from the first minute to the last.
The dinner, organised by Yvonne Jones, Jenny Seaton and Jason Milne, was the first in what is hoped to be a series of events to mark the 125th year of the club.

Summer movies 2014: 5 things we learned
(CNN) -- Was it the end of the world at the summer box office?
There certainly was plenty of destruction to go around. Not only were several cities destroyed, including San Francisco ("Godzilla") and Chicago ("Transformers: Age of Extinction"), there was also the kind of destruction Hollywood hates: that of their receipts.
Summer ticket sales, as of the last week in August, were down 15% over summer 2013, according to The New York Times, quoting movie business tabulator Rentrak. For movies released in the May-August window, grosses were down a whopping 25% -- $3.67 billion this year vs. $4.85 billion last year, according to boxofficemojo.com.
Nonetheless, with the exceptions of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and a handful of others, there was an "eh" feeling to much of what hit the multiplex between May and August of this year. CGI carnage, gross-out comedy, comic-book saviors: Haven't we seen this movie before?
Consider this: 2014 was the first summer since 2001 in which there was no movie that topped $300 million domestically. Studios like to tout $200 million as a blockbuster benchmark, but $300 million is real high-flying territory: "The Avengers," the "Iron Man" films, "The Dark Knight," films with what they call "legs," that create return business and draw in some lukewarm moviegoers. (To be fair, "Guardians" may still get there.)
As Forbes' Scott Mendelson notes, there were various reasons for the down summer, and not all of them were bad: Some planned films were rescheduled, and others were aimed as much at overseas markets as at the United States. (The mediocre "Amazing Spider-Man 2" barely cracked $200 million in the United States but earned another $500 million in international markets.) Still, the results provide a great deal of food for thought.
Here are a few points to ponder:
1. Don't reach for the stars.
Tom Cruise ("Edge of Tomorrow"), Adam Sandler ("Blended") and Melissa McCarthy ("Tammy") couldn't carry their respective movies to blockbuster territory. Only Angelina Jolie ("Maleficent") succeeded, with Scarlett Johansson ("Lucy") getting an honorable mention. However, it might be worth it to keep an eye on Shailene Woodley, the up-and-coming light of "The Fault in Our Stars." Sure, the film was based on a beloved book, but the film's success caught many observers by surprise -- and Woodley was at the center of it all. With her previous turn in the equally successful "Divergent," she's coming on strong.
2. Blow it up good!
As mentioned, destruction was high on Hollywood's list, especially when Michael Bay is involved. The Bay-directed "Transformers" stomped on the planet again, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (produced by Bay) did some damage and "Godzilla" visited San Francisco. But more than destruction, apocalypse was in the air: witness "Edge of Tomorrow," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Purge: Anarchy." And we go to the movies to escape from real life?
3. Comedy was not pretty.
Only two movies topped $100 million domestically among comedies this summer: "Neighbors," with the sneaky, shambling Seth Rogen, and "22 Jump Street." The latter was an interesting twist on the sequel, a follow-up that knew it was a follow-up and took every opportunity to make that the source of the comedy. (In going along for the ride, Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube were excellent self-parodies.) But "Tammy" tanked, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" found one more way to go and "Sex Tape" was erased. You know what they say: Dying is easy, comedy is hard.
4. Look to the East.
Who needs the USA? "Transformers" had a relatively mediocre turnout in America, grossing less than $250 million -- good enough to become the No. 2 film of the summer, but only No. 4 among the four "Transformers" films. On the other hand, overseas the film picked up $821 million -- including more than $300 million in China, becoming that country's highest-grossing film of all time. That was no accident: China is the second biggest film market in the world, and Hollywood is catering to it more and more.
5. Time is your friend.
Perhaps the most talked-about film of the summer -- at least in markets where it has played -- is "Boyhood," Richard Linklater's ode to one child's growing up. Linklater took a risk in deciding to follow his protagonist, played by Ellar Coltrane, and his other actors for 12 years, trusting that a film shot over that time would come together. It worked beautifully, with a 99% critics' approval on RottenTomatoes.com and early Oscar talk. In the past, watching someone age in a film was a sociological curiosity: witness Michael Apted's "Up" films, which have revisited a group of students every seven years. Now that we're in the YouTube age, in which every part of our lives is put on video, it'll be interesting to see if Linklater's concept becomes more normalized.

The roller conveyor is suited for horizontal transport of full and empty pallets. The rollers can be relocated quickly due to the tangential drive principle and frame design. The chain tensioning station on the outside allows for easy re-tensioning of the precision roller chain. At the same time, the rigid frame profile serves as side guide. The drive can be installed on the right side or optionally on the left in the direction of travel. Floor irregularities can easily be compensated with adjustable supports.

A refrain heard in a number of sessions at the FPA Retreat in Palm Springs, Calif., in early May was the rise of online providers of financial advice. Does it present a competitive threat for advisors—especially those looking to increase their next-gen outreach efforts—or a competitive edge?
It usually fell to the latter, the consensus being that demand will always exist for the person-to-person relationship. But every advisor acknowledged the impact online providers will make on the industry.
Enter Savant Capital Management, a fee-only wealth management firm with nine offices in three states. The firm announced on May 6 that it is now offering its investment and planning advice to online investors through a new service: eSavant Advisor. It offers each client a dedicated team to assist in identifying their needs and "helping to craft their vision of an ideal financial future."
eSavant Advisor "is the ideal solution for busy individuals, retirees who frequently travel, and those who are located outside of Savant's existing markets that desire access to one of the nation's top advisory firms."
The genesis of the latest announcement came in 2012, when Savant acquired InvestSimply, a startup internet-based RIA. InvestSimply's founder, Steven Geri, also joined the firm, and added his online expertise to Savant's personal approach, which allowed investors to access an advisor regardless of their location.
"eSavant Advisor's goal is to enhance the quality of life for each of our clients, wherever they live," Brent Brodeski, CEO of Savant Capital Management, said in a statement. "We recognize that each client has specific financial and retirement goals and we want to help them make smart investment decisions that will ultimately make them feel good about their future. eSavant Advisor allows clients to enjoy the freedoms of today's technology to help them pursue their goals in an efficient, timely, and geographically independent environment. And, we remain committed to the belief that a personal relationship is still key for our clients."
Started in 1986, Savant Capital Management, a fiduciary advisor, has 3,000 clients in more than 40 states.
"We've been servicing clients remotely for years," Brodeski added. "eSavant officially launches our targeted approach to provide that robust, personal relationship and quality advisory services to others in a more efficient and effective manner by leveraging the latest technology. It frees up individuals who are currently tied to a financial manager because of where they live."

The governor of Missouri has enacted an emergency measure to drill new wells in areas where water is scarce, providing much-needed relief for the state's farmers and ranchers. NBC's Thanh Truong reports.
By Thanh Truong, NBC News
WARREN COUNTY, Mo. -- There's a desperate search for water under way throughout Missouri where 95 percent of the state is enduring extreme levels of drought. In the rural area of Truxton, farmer Rusty Lee estimates he'll likely lose 40 percent of his crops.
We walked through his withering fields where rows of yellow squash lay shriveled under the sun. Lee said he's been trying to explain the severity of the drought to his 6–year-old son William.
"I try not to talk about our losses money-wise, economic-wise, but I want him to understand that this drought … will go down in history and that he probably won't see something like this in his lifetime," Lee said.
He is one of more than 3,700 farmers and ranchers in Missouri who have been approved for emergency well drilling. Gov. Jay Nixon issued an executive order last month for the state to pay up to 90 percent of the cost to dig new or deeper wells for farmers severely impacted by the drought. The farmers will pay the remainder of that cost. So far, the state has set aside more than $18 million to dig these new wells.
"We've been praying for rain, you don't know how much these wells help us," said long-time cattle rancher Michele Christopherson.
Early Thursday morning, her farm was bustling with noise. A two-person crew, equipped with heavy drilling equipment, started digging the 540 feet necessary to hit fresh water. Christopherson's current well doesn't have enough capacity to keep her 100 head of cattle hydrated. She's had several die from the heat and several others have lost their calves. Between the $10,000 she's already had to pay for hay and the estimated $12,000 she'll have to pay for the new well, Christopherson said this year will be one of losses.
"We're tough, that's how you got be when you're doing this kind of business, but nobody can sit there and say they can handle that kind of hit. We certainly can't," said Christopherson.
Peggy Ebbesmeyer's ranch in Truxton, Mo., has been hit hard by drought.
By noon, the crew hit pay dirt. Water gushed out of the ground. Christopherson stood near her fence, smiling at the sight.
A few miles down the road, fellow cattle rancher Peggy Ebbesmeyer was eagerly waiting her turn. The pond that usually serves as the main watering hole for cows is drying up and the little water left in it is warm and green.
"My cows lose five pounds a day by drinking this water. There's not much I can do without rain," said Ebbesmeyer.
To supplement the rancid water, she's been hauling water from a town 12 miles away to her farm. That's been a daily trip for two months. Ebbesemeyer figures she's lost between $40,000-$50,000 after several head of cattle died and others were sold early.
But for now, she will likely have to wait until the end of August -- along with thousands of other farmers -- for the drills to arrive.

In the past decade there has been a dramatic interest in cosmetic dentistry. We all realize that having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence. Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.
Cosmetic dental treatments can:
Remember, your smile speaks before you even say a word!
It's worth the drive to Elmvale! As a new chapter in my life opened, I began my journey doing something extremely difficult; putting myself first. While having another reline done, it was suggested I consider an implant. Well, I listened intently and set the wheels in motion. As traumatic as it may seem, it really isn't. Dr. David Solly made the procedure a comfortable experience. After having an artist make the new plate to fit with the implant; my life has been free of hassles with food, and my smile is better than ever. Asked or not, I will tell you it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I look forward to the friendly professional service I receive when I go back for check-ups and cleaning. Like I said, "It's worth the trip to Elmvale".
Barrie, ON
My chief complaint was my teeth before the implants. They were not very attractive, and they were becoming very mobile. There were very few teeth, only 8 or 9 in my mouth, so I was limited to what I could eat. I couldn't eat a nice steak or even bite on things I enjoyed. Dr. Solly took the time to speak with me about implants. I have seen so many people with their bottom teeth flipping in and out of their mouth, so I didn't want that to be a part of my life. At Dr. Solly's, with the information he provided for me and the way he spoke to me, I felt very comfortable. I was not very happy with all the work needed on my top teeth and the extractions because of my anxiety. Dr. Solly helped me get over my anxiety and made me feel comfortable. As for the healing, I did as Dr. Solly told me to do and everything healed great! I healed even quicker than I expected to. I'm really happy with the results and the way I look, as well as the way my teeth look. I liked the people that I worked with, they made it a really, really easy transition for me to making my sloppy bottom teeth go to a nice smile with a firm bite. Overall, the service and empathy from all the staff was just excellent. They were very, very friendly and very concerned with my individual feelings, especially Dr. David Solly - the one who did my implants for me. The two teams worked together really well.

Mode selector
The highly-engrossing career mode returns with crazy attention to detail, featuring a greater number of pre-match press conferences and additional emphasis on what's happening elsewhere. All scores from across the league are now read out at the end of each game, which can be rather irksome. Where's that mute button? The big thing this year is that managers can now take the reins of an international club and, as you build experience, the opportunities arise to manage both in unison.
Big train
The enjoyable online modes have also been suitably boosted to provide an additional angle for achievement. For instance, in Online Seasons, players can work their way up through divisions, earning points accordingly for their head-to-head encounters. Division titles can be earned with cups proudly stored in the trophy cabinet. Nice touch.
There's still no online multiplayer option for guests to join in, although it can be achieved over a local network. If you're a Billy Nomates, though, the online modes will probably keep you bashing the pad until Fifa 14, regardless.
Hot on the Ox
Indeed, EA has pushed the boat out with utilising the network, updating team and player statistics as the season progresses. You can even replay your favourite Premier League matches from the weekend passed with identical squad and weather conditions, all adding to that realistic experience.
There's also the addition of Kinect and Move functionality, not that it's anything other than a gimmick to tick the feature box. I find using my pad quick enough for implementing tactics without shouting them out over my Microsoft motion sensor, but perhaps I'm just old-fashioned.
The Wii U version of the game is said to omit various modes such as Ultimate Team and lacks the same tweaks to the Player Impact Engine, tactical defending and precision dribbling made to Fifa 13 on Xbox 360 and PS3. It'll be interesting to try things out with Ninty's new slate-pad, though. I found little to separate the versions on current consoles, aside from feeling slightly more accurate with the Xbox controller.
Jack, in the box...
While the Fifa franchise is refreshed annually with marginal changes, the wealth of content is hard to discredit. Considering we're all likely to play our beloved footie game through most of the 12 months that follow release, its value can't be beaten. The tweaks continue and there'll always be more to add ahead of a next-gen graphical update. As it stands, Fifa 13 is the most realistic football game I've ever played and, as such, is worthy of serious praise. ®
